Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Wrap the Sweet Potatoes
Wrap each sweet potato in aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed to retain moisture while cooking.
- 3
Prepare the Ash Bed
Create a bed of clean wood ash in a fireproof container or a pit. Make sure the ash layer is about 2 inches thick.
- 4
Place the Potatoes
Carefully place the wrapped sweet potatoes on top of the ash bed. Make sure they are well spaced to allow even cooking.
- 5
Cover the Potatoes
Scoop additional ash to cover the sweet potatoes completely. This will help insulate them and create an even cooking environment.
- 6
Cook Over Low Heat
Place the container or pit in a low heat environment (e.g., a campfire or oven set to a low temperature). Let the sweet potatoes cook for about 10 hours.
- 7
Check for Doneness
After 10 hours, carefully uncover the sweet potatoes and check for doneness by inserting a fork or skewer. They should be soft and tender.
- 8
Serve
Remove the sweet potatoes from the ash, unwrap them from the foil, and serve warm. Optionally, add butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs and salt to taste.
